It’s a building frustration

Petition complains about conditions

By LESLIE HAYWOOD
Entertainment Editor

Ed Neil While, assistant to the
chancellor for facilities planning
and safety, expressed disappoint-
mentoverapetitionsentby students
staff, and faculty of Gooch Hall,
claiming that environmental
conditions of the building were not
“conducive to effective teaching,
learning, office management, and
administration.”

The petition, which was signed
by 208 people and sent on March
25, attributed headaches, stuffy
nasal conditions, fatigue, eye
irritation, and general malaise to
the "inefficient and ineffective
heating-cooling system”of the hall.
There were also claims that there
was an extreme temperature
variance in many rooms and that
there was, at times, no air
circulation.

White told administrators and
department heads in Gooch Hall
that he was “disappointed that the
petition method of communication
was initiated because I feel that
every complaint, concern and
general discussion about the
environment has had a response
within 24 hours.”

White continued saying that
maintenance was aware of the
problems in Gooch and, in fact, had
already communicated with a
controls man before the petition
was ever filed.

‘‘You get into particular
problems in the fringe area," (the
time between winter-spring and
spring-summer), he explained.

For example, if the temperature
outside is 65 to 70 degrees and you
have a large class of 50 to 60 people,
all of who have an average
temperature of 98.6 degrees, it will

and Lady Diana Spencer, will be

presentation in the Gooch Hall
Auditorium. The program is free and
open to the public.

1966 in a variety of posts in that field.

get fairly uncomfortable right now
because the system is not cooling
right away.

“As soon as the temperature hits
70 to 80 degrees, the chiller will go
on," White explained.

White continued explainingthat
Gooch Hall was built with a four-
pipe system which is designed to
cool down water in the pipes and
then heat it to whatever
temperature is desired, thereby
maintaining a steady, desired
temperatured all year round.

However, he said, this system
was contracted before the energy
crunch and has never been
operated due to the increasing
electricity rates which make
unfeasible to run.

Therefore, now the system is
either heating, cooling or drawing
outside air-a practice which is
not what the system is designed to
do and causes problems of its own.

"People respond to heating and
cooling Gooch like it was their own
house,"hesaid.“Withabigbuilding
like Gooch, and with our
machinery, you cannot turn the
thermostat down or up and expect
immediate results.”

White also attributed the
tremendous glass area coupled
with the sun as a problem. The sun
shines on the east, south and west
sides of the building through the
windows and causes considerable
heat buildup. There are also no
operable windows, he said, only
plate glass. Therefore, no relief can
be found in opening a window,
which is the practice in other halls
such as Humanities when the
temperature difference causes
discomfiture.

One other problem, White said,
is the location of the thermostats in
the rooms. Most of the
thermostats are in the office
suites of conference rooms where

The visiting academic speaker will
also visit various UTM classes during
his day-long visit, which is sponsored
by the Department of Sociology and

funded under the auspices the
Academic Speakers Program.

there are windows. When these
areas get hot, the thermostat is
affected and the interior
classrooms with no windows cool
down to the same temperature as
the office suites.

This is also true when the office
suites cool down due to the
windows, the thermostat is
affected and the interior rooms
heat up-only to become too hot, he
said.

However. White stated that
there is always some air
circulation in the building. “You
cannot hear the air moving in the
majority of the building,
particularly in the classrooms and
laboratories, but because of the
system we are currently using,
there is never dead air in the
building,” White continued.

“The petition has not made us do
anything we would not have done
anyway,” said White. “To me. a
petition means that they have tried
and tried to get things done
without results, and 1 know we
have responded to complaints.”

Many of the signers of the
petition feel differently. Penny
Fuqua, secretary to Dr. Drew in
the School of Educationd felt the
petition was not to offend or
criticize what has been done. “It
just gets to the point when you get
exasperated because you are
trying to teach, and students are
complaining or as in last summer,
passing out. Mr. White's office
does try very hard to help us.” she
said. “It’s just that we are stuck."

Renee Taylor, a student worker
in Gooch for three years in one
office stated the heat and dryness
as problems.

“Mostly, it's hot." she said,
mentioning that one secretary in
the office keeps a vaporizer
constantly by her desk to make the

professor ot political science, on
Thursday April 21.

The 7:30 presentation in Gooch Hall
Auditorium if free and open to the
public. The visit is sponsored by the
Department of History and Political
Science under the auspices of UTM's
Academic Speakers Program.

Nimmo is a leading international
scholar on political communication.
He has authored, co-authored or
contributed to 17 books, and his
articles have appeared in over two
dozen scholarly journals. He has
served on the editorial boards of a
number of scholarly periodicals.

He has held offices in the Speech

room more comfortable.

Rene Bard, a student who did not
sign the petition, expressed
similar feelings saying the
conditions made it sometimes
difficult to study in class. “I feel
that the petition should have been
written a long time ago, said the
elementary education major who
has attended classes in Gooch for
three years.

Sam Anderson, assistant
director of International
Programs, seems to sum up most of
the feelings in Gooch.

, “None of us thought it (the
petition) was a gripe, it was more
of a general consensus. If you look
up petition in the dictionary it says
a request, an entreaty, a plea. We
felt the action of the petition was
just more efficient than occasional
scattered phone calls made over
the years."

Anderson felt it was more than
just hot and cold extremes that
spurred many people to sign the
petition.

"Its people walking in and
immediately feeling stuffed up or
having their eyes burn.”

“We all understand that the
present system cannot be
supported, but we would like to
know what is the air quality
exactly here." voicing his concern
for the health aspect of the
situation.

"The petition was not a vicious
thing. Itwasprompted byconcern.”
He summed up. saying he has been
in Gooch since 1979, and anytime one
sees anyone on the elevator or passes
someone in the hall, the most
immediate topic of conversation is not
about the pleasantries of the day, but
“isn’t this awful!" as they refer to the
conditions in Gooch. “It's a building
frustration." he said.

he was named Distinguished Professor
of Political Science at the University of

Cheating-

Is test security a problem?

By RAMON A SANDERS
Editor

Despite monitors...despite
safes...despite locks...despite security
policies, each year faculty members in
one department or another are faced
with the problem of cheating.

Sometimes it is merely suspected...
sometimes it is unmistakenly
apprehended..most times it remains
unknown...but the area is one to be
explored especially in view of the
recent extraordinary incident which
brought the issue into the limelight.

La t quarter, a whole class of
Psychology’ 2120 became suspected of
cheating and as a result 80 people were
forced to retake the test in order to
protect the credibility of the testing
procedure. Who’s at fault? How does it
happen?

According to Gary Brown.
Chairman of the Psychology
Department, cheating is not a rare
thing, and it is not limited to the
Psychology Dept.

"I don’t think we have any greater
cheating problem than other
departments." said Brown. "Students
do cheat because it is easier...and I

Center.

"The job is then logged into the shop
(sometimes by work-study students)
and it is not unwrapped until the
machine operator runs them on the
machine.

"Normally the tests are run when
the work-study students are not
present, but if this is not possible, the
students are not allowed around the
machine until the tests are run and
wrapped. The extra copies and the
masters are also wrapped and
returned, so there are no copies in the
trash can.

After the tests are wrapped, the
department is called and the test is
placed on the shelf to be picked up.

“The only way the Duplicating
Center guarantees security on tests is
for the secretary or teacher to call
Printing & Duplicating Supervisor
(7842) a day ahead of time and make an
appointment for the test to be run
while they wait. Work-study students
would not be allowed in the room
during this time.”

According to Burress. this
procedure is followed exactly by the
Print Shop employees, but. she says,
“You'd be surprised how many tests

A Pacer Analysis

don't know that there's a morality
about if anymore. It's like cheating on
your income tax. They don't really
think its an immoral act. It's a way to
beat the system.”

Brown explained that in the
Psychology Dept, guidelines are
followed in order to establish test
security. They include:

1) The secretary types all test.

21 Tests are taken to the Print Shop
sealed and stapled, usually by the
secretary or the teacher involved.

4) Tests are stapled by the secretary
or by a workstudy who is being
supervised.

5) Some of the faculty members
watch the tests being duplicated
personally.

61 The test ''masters” are
incinerated.

These are the precautions taken by
the Psychology Dept., but despite the
safeguards, tests do get out as last
quarter's incident proved. The
question then is “How?"

“Most faculty members make up
new tests each time." Brown said. "But
in this instance, someone had theexact
test and knew it was the test."

According to Brown, the.
Psychology Dept, has tried to plug any
“holes" in their security system...but
what about the Print Shop and other
departments who face this problem?

The Print Shop, located in Cooper
Hall and overseen by Bea Burress. has
a written statement outlining its exact
procedure when duplicating all tests

“The tests are to be wrapped
designated 'tests' and the instructions
written on the outside of the package
when brought to the Duplicating

come over here not wrapped."

Burress explained that the Print
Shop has only gotten complaints from
the Psychology Dept. Many times, she
says, her work-study students are
blamed. She stressed, however. "My
work-study students are trustworthy.”

The policy on test security was
developed by the print shop in order to
make the policy clearly standardized
and understood to all faculty
members, but she explained that the
print shop can only guarantee absolute
security if the faculty members
personally bring the test and wait for it
to be duplicated.

Other departments on campus also
have security procedures, but these
are much like the Psychology
Department's.

Ted James. Chairman of the Biology
Dept., said that his department's tests
are kept locked in large safes.

The Biology Dept, also does its own
duplicating, during which time, he
says, no students are allowed to l>e
present.

James explained that his
department has isolated cases of
cheating but these, he says, "do not
involve test preparation."

"We have students who cheat..We
don’t have a problem with stolen tests."

Paul Shaffer, dean of the School of
Business, echoed the same type of
security policies, and he too stated that
cheating is not a major problem in the
School of Business.

Is cheating really a problem? The
Departments generally say "no". Next
week The Pacer will look at cheating
from a different perspective-from the
student's viewpoint.

Opinions

Hey, SGA, it’s time
to do something

SGA elections are next week!

Who cares?

Last year only 1,700 students bothered to vote out of a total enrollment of
5534. and this year the candidate in one secretary position are unopposed,
and no one is running for the office of Secretary of Communications.
Why all of this apathy?

Could it be that SGA has no real power and has lost sight of what it was
intended to do so it has chosen to do nothing?

What does SGA really do?

Organization and promotion of concerts and entertainment has become
SGA’s major function. SGA. by purpose, is supposed to be a student
administration, not just a student workforce, but doesn’t David Belote’s
Campus Recreation office handle most oi the actual work in making the
entertainment attractions such as concerts a reality? The truth is that
individual people do a lot of work but as a whole SGA doesn't do much at all.
Sure they set up Miss UTM, Superwalk ( a charity drive ). leadership
retreats, and help with homecoming, but existing organizations like
U.A.C.. P.E.P. , Student Affairs, and Admissions handle much of the
student promotion and organization and would continue to do so even if
SGA wasn’t around. So do we really need SGA?

And what about SGA s role as a student ’’advocate’’?

Students don’t care about SGA because SGA doesn’t seem to care about
them. When the cafeteria received a “C" rating, did SGA get upset? When a
new grading policy for repeat classes, that adversely affected some
students, was passed did SGA protest to administration? When legislators
tried to raise the legal drinking age, did SGA try to stop them? When the
federal government required that male students be able to prove draft
registration before they can receive financial aid, did SGA cry
discrimination? When students and faculty protested adverse conditions in
Gooch Hall, did SGA support them?

What ever happened to lobbying for change? Isn’t SGA supposed to be the
student’s link to the administration? Aren’t students supposed to talk to
SGA while SGA then tries to get administration to go along with the
student’s wishes? The trend in SGA seems to be the other way around: SGA
tries to “pave over” the administration’s decisions in order to get the
students to play along.The SGA president should be the voice of the student
body not an extension of thechancellor’s staff-some student vice chancellor.
SGA. likewise was not created to be a P R. department. But it is supposed to
be a strong voice—FOR students—TO administrators.

We are not saying that SGA should be completely done away with. It does
serve some useful purposes. Studentcourt isan example: however, students
rarely take things to court anymore. Also, we appreciate the individual
officers who are hardworking and responsible.

We just want SGA representatives to look at what students are trying to
tell them. We want SGA to question authority every now and then just like
then students that they represent do. And if students don't give SGA
feedback, then SGA should go looking for it. This year they sent out acouple
of questionaires: that is good but not nearly good enough. SGA needs to
make it their job to find out what students want and DO something about it.
If they don't, then their stipends are a waste of money, and their position is
nothing more than something to pad a resume.

Candidates, it’s all up to you. Make SGA what it should be.

THUMBS

Candidates speak out

To the people who are going to
participate in the SAE Dance-a-thon
and Superwalk.

To the University Center and SGA
for sponsoring “Rocky Horror Picture
Show”.

To the Housing Office for installing
larger mailboxes in University Courts.

To candidates who tear down their
opponents campaign posters.

To people who pick flowers that are
growing on campus. Leave them there
for everyone to enjoy.

To the Housing Office for installing
the new University Courts mailboxes
so far away from the apartments.

In order to indicate to you. our
readers, the feelings and opinions of
candidates for SGA Cabinet positions
relating to student concerns, the
Pacer conducted a poll of the
candidates the night of the constitution
test.

For those who do not know. SGA
Cabinet is eomixised of the SGA
president, vice-president, secretary of
affairs, secretary of minority affair-,
secretary of communications and
secretary of finance.

These elected SGA officials are
responsible, for serving: the student
body and for reg-ulatin^ the various
campus activities throughout the year.
But just how do these candidates feel
about their jobs and responsibilities
How do they relate to their
constituents? This poll hopes to clarify
these and other questions students
may have.

The lssues= ” “

Most candidates feel the cost of an
education is the most important
concern of students no matter what the
student’s financial status is.

Chief among these concerns,
according to Billy Ware, candidate for
secretary of minority affairs opposing
John Bell, is the extremely high cost of
books, supplies and food. "1 feel that
these high fees have all but convinced
students to leave and attend school
where it is cheaper, thus decreasing
the over all enrollment on campus."
said Ware.

Another concern was that the
university continue to place emphasis
on academic aspects.

To do this. Bill Terry, candidate for
president running against Reggie
Williams, sai(J, “SGA is obligated to
voice student opinion to the
administration and faculty concerning
students' academic welfare.”

Other concerns such as telephones
needed in Clement Hall and
instructors not giving tests before the
drop date in order for students to
evaluate the course were noted.

All of the candidates agreed SGA is
established to represent the student
body in different areas, such as
academics and entertainment, by
providing official channels through
which student opinions may be
expressed.

As John Bell, candidate for
secretary of minority affairs, stated.
“SGA gives the different leaders a
chance to voice student opinion
through one body instead of a lot of
people talking and no one being
heard.”

Most agreed that SGA is also
responsible for providing adequate
extracurricular activities for students.

What each candidate plans to do in
office is individual and up to the
candidate to decide. Each candidate
feels they will perform their various
duties to the best of their abilities.

Starting with the secretary of
finance positions and moving up to the
presidential platforms, here is a
summary of the candidates' plans for
office when and if elected.

Sec. of Finance ----

Secretary of Finance: Rick Bennett
says. "I will try to encourage
cooperation among all SGA
members." John Hale states. “I will
make sure the students’ money is
spent wisely."

Sec. of Minority Affairs =

Seeretaryof Minority Affairsdohn

Bell says. “I intend to spark interest in
minority problems and then work
together to integrate all programs."
Billy Ware says. “I want to work on the
communication gap between the
student government and minorities,
particularly those that exist between
the black students and SGA. I hope to
aleviate the misunderstandings
between SGA and minority students."

Sec. of Affairs t

Seeretaryof Affairs: Mary Roberts
believes. "Besides my general
responsibility for all student
government records and files. I would
like to become a kind of liason between

cabinet and congress since 1 have
served in Congress for the past two
years."

Vice-President —

Vice-President: Todd Carpenter
hopes, "To see more weekend activities
planned for those students who are
unable to go home every weekend. In
addition, more contemporary bands
and music would be a welcome
attraction for all students. A sold-out
concert is not necessarily a good one
unless a majority of students are in
attendance.”

Joe Ciaramitaro says, “I want to
motivate as many people as possible."

James Prather stated. "I will try to
provide the best entertainment on
campus as far as concerts, movies, etc.
is allowed within my limit. I will also
work to build campus involvement in
student activities."

President «

President: Bill Terry savs. "I will do
what any elected person should do, the
w ill of the students, what else can I do?

1 would like to implement more
surveys for student opinion in the
areas of entertainmentand academics.
We are to provide the students with a
good, wholesome time through a
variety of activities and events that do
not conflict with university policy. I
would like to stress that this election
should not be a white vs. black
campaign. Vote on the issues!"

Reggie Williams states. “I have
three major goals in mind; (1) to keep
students aware of major issues, while
working hand-in-hand with the
secretary of communications; (2) to
work very hard-some people call me a
“workaholic”-and I believe my past
record speaks for that; (3) to use a
better way or ways to implement the
Student Activities Fee-it must serve
all students, not just some."

So. there you have it folks! But just
don’t take their word for it. Get to know
your candidates and know what they
stand for. Remember: they will be
placed in office to serve their
constituents-students. Please vote
April 19. and choose wisely.

Elections
and more

Well for a minute there 1 thought the

seasons got confused It seems like
spring now since honeysuckle, pollen
and other hayfever-causing
substances are in the air. And our
greatest friend of all—the sun—is
bark.

Along with the April showers came
the agony of campaigning Most of you
probably awoke Monday morning,
walked throught your dorm lobby and
the University Center and were not
able to see anything but signs, posters
and flyers. Things are in full swing
now—but by this time next week SGA
will have new officers in various
positions. Monday the 18th is the
public speakout: elections will be held
on Tuesday 19th-Runoffs if necessary
will be next Thursday.

SGA Dateline
Reggie Williams

The elections are very important;
members will be coming to you for
your support. It is vital that we
exercise our right to vote. Remember
these members will serve for the
upcoming school year.

Besides most organizations going
through the election process, there are
a few activities you can enjoy i n the up¬
coming week: Vanguard's Dinner
Theatre presenting "Absurd Person
Singular" will start at 6:30 p.m.
tonight. Friday & Saturday.

There will be two Academic
Speakers on our campus next week.
Both topics are national issues of
today; "The news media and
terrorism" & “Nightly Horrors: Crisis
Coverage by TV Network News" on
Monday and Thursday nights
respectively at 7:30 p.m. in the Gooch
Hall Auditorium.

Finally, don't forget the March of
Dimes Superwalk on April 24th.

My thought for the week: A little
body often harbors a great soul.

"Ask Anthony” by Anthony Culver

Dear Readers:

Hi! and welcome back to campus and
? spring quarter. Paula Blankenship
has resigned as Opinions Editor for
The Pacer. Paula did an outstanding
job and we will all miss her. Becauseof
her resignation. I will now be
answering all’ questions previously
addressed, to her“Dear Paula"column.
Please send any questions, concerns,
problems, etc. to “Ask Anthony” in
care of The Pacer, Rm. 263.
University Center. I reserve the right
to edit any letter that does not have a
signature. Otherwise, this is your
forum to find out something that you
don’t know, get something off your
chest, or whatever. Keep those cards
and letters coming, people!

Dear Anthony,

Well, before you know it SGA
elections will roll around and our
beautiful campus, which Mr. Ed Neil
White and his crew work so diligently
to keep clean, will be littered with
various forms of propaganda. I don’t
mind the majority of the posters and
signs that candidates plaster almost

everywhere but on Louis Mauldin’s
head because the election commission
governs the size of these and makes the
candidates take them down right after
the elections are over.

My real gripe is those little bumper
sticker-like signs that candidates have
used in the past. Those little buggers
aren't all that easy to get off when they
are stuck somewhere, and some people
just leave them up long after the other
signs are at the bottom of some bird
cage. Just look around-there are
reminders from by-gone elections on
trash canisters, floors, and even lamp
posts. What can you do about these
ghosts of elections past?

Don't the stickers follow the same
rules as other signs? Can these people
be fined? Quick, give us some answers
before the swarm attacks again.

Signed.

Paranoid of Political Grafitti

Dear Paranoid Person, +■

You have brought up a good
problem. Every year it is a madcap

race beginning at midnight Sunday
night to see which candidate can get
his or her friends to slap the
candidate's face, name or whatever in
the most visible or just the MOST
places on campus. I witnessed the
madness last year and it is simply
unreal. You go to sleep, and the next
morning you wake up and experience
the aftermath of "the political elves.”

Like you say. most of the mess is gone
after the elections. Maggie Newton, a
member of SGA’s election commission,
said that candidates are told to remove
their signs as soon as possible after the
results have been announced, and most
candidates do.

New ton agrees with me and you that
the bumper stickers are a problem but
says that there are not written rules
governing their use.

"As long as the candidate stays
within the budget established for the
office that they are seeking and follow
the other written guidelines, there is
nothing that we (the election
commission) can do." said Newton.

SGA President Brad Hurley used
similar stickers last year in his bid for

the presidency and said that the
stickers were never intended to lie put
up in places that would cause' trouble.
Brad said that the stickers were to be
put on people's noteliooks. jackets, etc.,
not doors, lamp posts, garbage bins,
etc. because they are difficult to
remove. „

Newton said that it is still OK to use
them, but she doesn’t know of any
candidates who are going to use them
this year.

"1 hope people won’t be irresponsible
if they do use them and put them in
places where it will be difficult to take
them off,” said Newton.

Well Paranoid that's that. Why don’t
you tell the candidates that come
around the dorms soliciting for your
vote that you will support them if they
will get their friends to takedown the
posters after the votes have been
counted.

Last year I saw a bunch of guys
armed with garbage bags running
around taking down all of the posters
except those of candidates who were
involved in a run-off. That was a great
idea: maybe they will do it again.

People wandering inadvertantly
into the backstage area during a
Vanguard Theatre production will
probably be stunned at what they
find. It's another world, as if stepping
through the backstage entrance had
teleported them to another time, or
times.

If a performance is in progress, it is
not unusual to approach the native of
this strange land and ask direction,
only to have him stare blankly back
and not say anything at all. Or they
may hiss viciously and clamp a hand
over the inquiring mouth. All the
inhabitants seem to be preoccupied.

If it happens that the backstage visit
occurs during a rehearsal, the feeling
is a different kind of strange. The
actors not on stage will acknowledge
the presence of an intruder, but they
may do so in character, modifying
their dialogue slightly to fit the
conversation at hand. The weirdness
becomes more apparent when the
actors are not in costume. Nothing can
describe the feeling of holding a

conversation with an ex-Colonel from
Great Britain, who is clad in tennis
shorts and a baggy sweatshirt. One

Mr. Snyder enjoys his position at
Vanguard. He is free to do the
productions he wants, within reason
and budget, and he gets to work with
some talent. He enjoys starting
students on the right path, if not to
stardom, at least toartistieexpression.

' "In the final analysis." he says.

acting is a very demanding
discipline." People don't usually look at
it that way. but when someone joins
Vanguard, they quickly find that real
acting is real work. Only the hardy
survive.'

'7 like working with amateur theatre. In New York
the actors are concerned with their own careers,
money and other things that don’t get in the way as
much with students. ” _

“Pris is my third dachshund." he
said. “I got my first shortly after
moving to New York." Two friends,
both owners of dachshunds, bred their
dogs, unsuccessfully at first. Then Mr.
Snyder acquired Lulu, his first pup.
Since then he has owned Emily and
now Priscilla. Emily was one of Lulu's
descendants, and Pris comes from
another line.

Mr. Snyder got his MFA in Theatre
from Yale University. Then he went to

success. Then he wrote for television,
but modestly withholds the names of
the shows. Snyder has also worked on
several movie scripts, none of which
reached the light (“.. or dark.” he adds
with laughter) of film.

Born in Memphis. Mr. Snyder
returned to Tennessee in 1964.
Originally, he took his position at UTM
because his father was ill and he could
be closer to home. Later, he just
decided to stay.

Snyder gulped the last of his coffee,
then removed his glasses and ran his
fingers through his thinning hair.
"This is actually not the best time for
me to give an interview." he said as he
stood. “I hope you have enough to print:
I'm rather uncomfortable about
interviews anyway. I'd rather you
write about the production than me."
With that he called Pris and headed for
the Theatre, his own chosen land.

Considering the tremendous
outpouring of artists and masterpieces
during this time, van Gogh's are
probably the la*st of the period.

Some famous paintings by tan
Gogh, valued at over'$ I million for
each, give or take a few thousand,
include Thatched Roofs. 1884. The
Potato Eaters. 1885. and finalh a
Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear
1889.

among other great artists of the |x>st-
impressionist era. namely Toulouse-
Lautrec and Emile Bernard, his
greatest masterpieces were painted
there. Life in Paris affected van Gogh's
health, however. He suffered from
depression and drank heavily.

Van Gogh often worked in a frenzy,
living alone as cheaply as possible and
eating little.

In 1888 van Gogh had the first or
many mental seizures. His first
seizure led to a bizarre incident. Partly
because of the seizure and also because
of a deep depression stemming from
his brother's marriage, van Gogh cut
off part of his own ear to offer it to the
prostitutes at the local brothel. He was

taken to a hospital and lay unconscious
for three days.

From this time on. life became
increasingly difficult for van Gogh,
After being confined to an asylum at
Saint-Remy. he worked in a changed
style, frenzied and turbulent, with
cypress trees used as a persistent
motif.

In 1890. van Gogh was allowed to
leave Saint-Remy to go to "the north of
France." Here he painted with great
determination the surrounding
countryside.

Depression returned rap.dly. so that
in July. 1890. van Gogh committed
suicide. Within a few years his
paintings were as influential as any

This feature focuses on the life of a
famous artist by shedding light on his
talents and allowing for the
appreciation of fine art.

Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch painter
who lived in the mid to late 19th
century, was a very complex
individual. The eldest son of a
minister, he felt he should make the
ministry his chosen career. At the
same time, he experimented with
drawing.

After a series of disappointments in
not being accepted as a suitable
minister, van Gogh turned exclusively
to art at the age of 27.

Van Gogh focused on the life of the
workers around him. the poor of the
factories in The Hague, the landscapes
and peasants of small Flemish towns.

Although his compositions may be
said to be careful, the content was his
works’ main attraction.

Ever heard of the interesting game i
called “Teakettle?” If not, you're in for i
a new learning experience! No one 1
knows exactly where the name of the ■
game originated, but "teakettle" is
quite simple and is a word game which
tends to reflect the general
personalities and attitudes of the
group involved.

Teakettle can be played by two or
more, preferably more! The general
object of this game is for one person to
think of a statement, leaving out the
action verband inserting "teakettle" in
the verb's place.

For instance, iff said,"Firstthingin
the morning. I like to “ 'teakettle.' "
everybody else should try to figure out J‘
through an infinite number of
questions using “teakettle" as the verb,
exactly what 1 teakettle.

A person might ask. "Would you
'teakettle' in front of your mother?" or
"Do you 'teakettle' standing up,"or “Do
you 'teakettle' in a car?" etc. To which
the teakettler would respond with a
yes or a no answer.

But if a question can not be
■ered by a simple “yes" or “no." the

The 1983 Health Careers Day was
held in the University Center
Ballroom on Tuesday. April 5. The
Career Day brought together Health
Professionals from West and Middle
Tennessee. Western Kentucky and
.Southeastern Missouri. The
professionals represented hospitals
throughout the mid-south area. They
were present to inform students of
prospective job opportunities.

Sandy Beiote. director of Career
Placement, coordinated the event that
encouraged careers in nursing,
pharmacy, and dietetics. Dianne
Hollis. |>er.sonal manager for the
Gibson tleneral Hospital in Trenton.
Tenn.. stated that jobs are available in
the health fields today. The nursing
field, according to Hollis, is open, but
the one-time overwhelming demand
for nurses is decreasing. The current
economic environment and a lower
turn-over rate of nurses are the factors
contributing to a decrease said Hollis.

wins over Livingston. Jacksonville
State. Valdosta State and North
Alabama this weekend.

The Pacers, defending champions of
the GSC and currently ranked 14th in
the nation by the Intercollegiate
Tennis Coaches Association, had
matches scheduled ever}' day this
week.

UTM won by default against
the Livingston Tigers, who failed to
show up for the five-team gathering at
North Alabama. The Pacers then
defeated Jacksonville State 9-0 and
Valdosta State 6-0 (doubles matches
were not played due to lateness) to
complete Saturday's action. The
Pacers returned the next morning to
defeat host North Alabama 8-1.

The loss for North Alabama,
considered one of the stronger teams in
the GSC. dropped the Lions to 16-8
overall and 4-1 in the GSC.

“We played really well this weekend.*
Pacer Coach Dennis Bussard said. “We
now have a l>etter focus on how the
conference shapes up. There were
some very close scores in the individual
matches, but you can’t duck the fact-
we'd have to be considered the
favorites for the championship."

The GSC tennis championship
tournament is scheduled for April 22-
28 at Delta State University in
Cleveland. Miss. UTM defeated Delta
State earlier this year on the
Statesmen’s home court 6*8. The
Pacers won all six singles titles and all
three doubles titles in the (JSC
tournament last year as it won the
school its first (JSC championship in
any sport. For his team’s performance.
Bussard was named the 1982 (JSC-

This brings their overall record to
14-10-1 with seven games scheduled

Kevin Tuck was the winning pitcher
in the first game.

In that game. Jimbo Willis hit two
home runs and Gary Pittman had one.

Mike Prather was the starting
pitcher in the second game, but was

replaced after one inning by Mark
Newby, who was the losing pitcher.

Complete game victories by
hometow n pitchers Mark Newby and
Mike Prather led the baseball team to
a double-header sweep of Bethel
College (ast week at Pacer Field.

UTM won the first game 4-1 and
came back in the nightcaptoposta5-l
victory. The wins left UTM at 13-9-1
.tfveririL^ith 10 wins and a tie in the
last 12 gamfcs. Bathel dropped to 6-5.

Prather, a junior from Martin,
struck out 11 batters and yielded only
four hits in raising his record to 2-3.

Men’s basketball season ends with success

A year of numerous first-time
happenings and record-breaking
performances came to an end,
Saturday. March 12. for the UTM
Pacer basketball team, but not before
the Pacers posted their second
consecutive 20-game win season and
made their second consecutive
appearance in the NCAA South
Central Regional of the national
championship basketball tournament.

The Pacers finished the season with
an overall record of 21-10. posting the
most victories in UTM basketball
history. This year's team also com pi led
an 11-3 record in the Gulf South
Conference to win UTM’s first GSC
basketball championship.

The Pacers, under first-year Head
Coach Tom Hancock, broke 17 and tied
two school records among the 46
records for one game and one season
listed in the school's press guide. For
his efforts. Hancock was named GSC
Coach-of-the-Year~the first time a
UTM basketball coach has earned that

honor. Jerry Davis, a 6-foot-7 junior
center from Chicago. III., was named
the conference’s player of the year, a
first for a UTM basketball player.

The success is most amazing
considering the fact that the Pacers
were picked by the conference’s
coaches to finish seventh in the eight-
team championship race. This year’s
Pacer team started out 0-2 in
conference play before winning 11 of
its last 12 conference games and
posting a school record 10-game win
streak. The Pacers compiled a 17-1
record at home and a 25-game Pacer
win streak at home was stopped in the
last home game of the season.

The Pacers’ 21 wins in the regular
season led to their selection as
participants in the 32-team NCAA
Division II national championship
tournament. The Pacers drew a game
against Southeast Missouri State
University on the Indians home court
in the opening round. The Indians,
ranked fifth in the nation, had to go

into overtime to beat the Pacers. UTM
was hampered in tbat game by fouls
and by an injury to senior starter
Kevin Tuck with just six minutes gone
in the game.

The game with Southeast Missouri
left the Indians with a 15-1 record at-
home and a 24-5 record overall. More
than 350 Pacer fans traveled to Cape
Girardeau. Mo., for the game.

The South Central Regional saw the
career of four Pacers. Rudolph. Tuck.
John Ford, and Larry Martin, come to

an end. The four saw UTM compile a
41-21 record in their two seasons at
UTM. They saw their collegiate
careers end in a manner they had
helped UTM grow unaccustomed to.
losing.

The future, however, appears to be
bright. Hancock returns Davis and
Stentiford along with reserve standout
Willie Forbes and, with one of the best
playing facilities and some of the best
fans in collegiate basketball,
recruiting has already shown signs of
success.
